Co-Optimus - Call of Juarez: The Cartel Review

Co-Optimus: There is some real genius behind The Cartel...but it’s both painful and baffling to see these special touches run into the ground by poor craftsmanship. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I noticed how realistic the muzzle flash was while shooting a rifle - Techland actually added in powder sparks to imitate real life shooting in a way I hadn’t seen before. And yet, looking down your iron sights causes the gun to quiver and the light bloom to jump to unreasonable proportions. Using a zoom control should not turn the entire screen into a blob of muddy graphics.
